William Shatner’s “Rocket Man”
Today is William Shatner‘s 82nd birthday. While Shatner is best known for playing Captain Kirk on Star Trek, he also released three music albums, and he has gained some recognition for his spoken-word interpretations of popular songs. One of the most famous — and most entertaining — is his version of Elton John’s “Rocket Man” that he performed at the 1978 Science Fiction Film Awards.
